With Duchamp, a new collaboration with the guys behind Lumen, he can finally try anything he always wanted to try. “I love Zealous but want to do something different here,” he says. “Thai bouillabaisse, white lobster pizza, fish and chips with crispy skate wing and garlic fries with homemade tartar sauce: It’s hard for me to write a menu and not have a little bit of everything.” And on Sundays, Taus steps outside the serene new Bucktown space to grill high-end burgers on homemade rolls.
